> I will be totally honest and say that when I first stumbled upon the SDMB, I was debating whether or not I should actually register. You guys all seemed intelligent and well-spoken, and I thought, with my posts amongst yours, I’d sound unintelligent.

It took me a couple of years to convince myself to register for the same reason.

I eventually decided to embrace my inner doofus, recognize that written English isn’t my preferred mode of communication so I shouldn’t expect too much from myself, and stop worrying about it.
